Coalbed Methane Development Studies

Coalbed Methane (CBM) ranks as one of the world’s largest sources of natural gas. While CBM has the potential to be a highly valuable asset in many locations throughout the world, currently only Australia, China, and the United States are conducting significant and focused exploitation of these resources. Efficiently developing these resources requires the expertise to make accurate assessments of each property. The Netherland Sewell CBM team has that expertise. We have worked with most of the top CBM operators in almost every major producing CBM basin in the world.

We understand that it is imperative to honor all of the CBM project data, and to understand the relationship between the properties of the coal and the development strategy. Choosing a consultant with this understanding can prevent unforeseen problems. Each year, NSAI personnel work thousands of man-hours evaluating CBM properties worldwide.

Our scope of work generally includes:

Geologic assessment of the coal seams’ structure, thickness, and quality

Geologic model construction

Performance assessments of historical production

Reservoir simulation

Interpretation of Langmuir isotherm test

Comparison of performance to volumetric analysis

Independent reserves and resources assessments, including economics

Planning, design, implementation, and appraisal of development programs

CBM training classes and seminars

NSAI is chosen by more companies to evaluate more CBM properties than any other petroleum consulting firm. Some of our worldwide clients are listed below:
